Bamburgh Castle Reflections

The calmest of the Bamburgh prints: a clear amber sky, thin streaks of gold cirrus, and the castle silhouetted above a sheet of standing water so still it holds a near-perfect mirror image. A quiet, minimal frame for anyone who prefers stillness to drama.

Bamburgh Castle is one of the great sights of the Northumberland coast, a Norman fortress standing on a basalt crag above miles of open sand and the North Sea. A stronghold since Anglo-Saxon times and rebuilt over nine centuries, it was restored by the industrialist Lord Armstrong and remains lived in today. Few buildings in England sit in a more photogenic landscape.
